Abstract
本发明实施例提供一种网络互通方法、网元及***,涉及通信领域,实现提高第一网络与第二网络互通的效率。本发明实施例提供的方案包括:网络互通配置网元在获知第一网络请求连接第二网络后,分别向第一网元集合中每个网元,发送第二网元集合中与其连接的网元的标识,使得第一网元集合中每个网元分别与第二网元集合中与其连接的网元进行网络互通。本发明用于网络互通。
Description
本发明涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种网络互通方法、网元及***。
在通信网络中,除了运营商部署的基于授权频谱的公用网络外,为用户提供基于非授权频谱,并且提供个性化及差异化业务的专用网络也越来越普遍,专用网络是运营商或者非运营商(如企业单位,家庭,个人等)部署的移动网络。例如,中立主机网络(英文全称:Neutral Host Network,NHN)为一种专用网络。
专用网络除了其内部进行通信业务,还可以与运营商网络进行连接和交互,实现更广泛的通信业务。如何配置(建立或删除)专用网络与运营商网络之间的连接实现网络互通,就成为尤为重要的工作。
目前,若专用网络中的网元由运营商部署,专用网络与运营商网络的网络互通,通常由运营商网络的网管服务器进行配置。具体的,运营商网络的网管服务器通过分别向专用网络的网元和运营商网络的网元发送对方的网元标识,专用网络的网元根据接收到的运营商网络的网元标识发起连接,以完成网络互通。
但是,对于专用网络中的网元由非运营商部署的场景,专用网络与运营商网络的网络互通还没有针对性的实现方案。假设沿用由运营商网络的网管服务器进行配置的方案,专用网络的使用者需要前往运营商进行登记,提供专用网络的相关参数后,由运营商网络的管理员触发运营商网络的网管服务器执行网络互通的流程,导致网络互通效率低。
发明内容
本发明实施例提供一种网络互通方法、网元及***,实现提高
第一网络与第二网络互通的效率。
为达到上述目的,本发明的实施例采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,本申请提供一种网络互通方法,应用于网络互通配置网元。本申请提供的网络互通方法,用于第一网络与第二网络进行网络互通。该方法具体可以包括:网络互通配置网元获知第一网络请求连接第二网络,在获知第一网络请求连接第二网络后,网络互通配置网元向第一网元集合中每个网元,发送第二网元集合中与其对应连接的网元的标识,使得第一网元集合中的网元与第二网元集合中与其连接的网元进行网络互通;其中,第一网元集合包括第一网络中与第二网络连接的网元,第二网元集合包括第二网络中与第一网元集合中每个网元一一对应连接的网元。

结合第一方面或上述任一可能的实现方式,在另一种可能的实现方式中,在获知第一网络请求连接第二网络后,分别向第一网元集合中的每个网元,发送第二网元集合中与其对应连接的网元的标识,具体可以实现为:在获知第一网络请求连接第二网络后,若验证允许第一网络接入第二网络,分别向第一网元集合中的每个网元,发送第二网元集合中与其对应连接的网元的标识。以保证网络安全性。
结合第一方面或上述任一可能的实现方式,在另一种可能的实现方式中,验证允许第一网络接入第二网络,具体可以实现为:向第二网络的管理员输出验证指示;若接收到管理员输入的允许第一网络接入所述第二网络的指示,则验证允许第一网络接入第二网络;或者,若第一网络满足预设规则,则验证允许第一网络接入第二网络。
其中,向第二网络的管理员输出验证指示包括向管理员输出网络互通请求中包括的内容;第一网络满足预设规则包括网络互通请求中的内容满足预设规则。需要说明的是,对于预设规则的具体内容,可以根据实际需求设定,本申请对此不进行限定。

这样一来,在第一网络与第二网络实现网络互通时,第一网络中的网络互通服务网元会接收到网络互通配置网元反馈的第二网络中与第一网元集合中每个网元对应连接进行网络互通的网元的标识,然后进行分发,第一网络中的网元根据接收到的标识即可完成第一网络与第二网络之间的互通。在该网络互通过程中,由网络互通配置网元在获知请求网络互通时,自动下发进行网络互通的网元标识,避免了两个网络互通时采用人工登记信息以触发网络互通流程的过程,提高了网络互通的效率。

在另一种可能的实现方式中,为了提高网络兼容性,适应第一网络中各个网元的已有功能,网络互通服务网元分别向第一网元集合中每个网元,发送第二网元集合中与其连接的网元的标识具体可以实现为:网络互通服务网元向第一网元集合中的第一网元发送第二网元集合中与第一网元集合中每个网元对应连接的网元的标识,由第一网元向第一网元集合中其他网元转发第二网元集合中与其他网元连接的网元的标识。其中,第一网元可以为第一网元集合中任一个网元,也可以为第一网元集合中处于第一网络中离网络互通服务网元最近的网元。

第一网元集合中与其对应连接的网元进行网络互通。
这样一来,在第一网络与第二网络实现网络互通时,第二网络中的网络互通服务网元会接收到网络互通配置网元反馈的第一网络中与第二网元集合中每个网元对应连接进行网络互通的网元的标识,然后进行分发,第二网络中的网元根据接收到的标识即可完成第一网络与第二网络之间的互通。在该网络互通过程中,由网络互通配置网元在获知请求网络互通时,自动下发进行网络互通的网元标识,避免了两个网络互通时采用人工登记信息以触发网络互通流程的过程,提高了网络互通的效率。

这样一来,在第一网络与第二网络实现网络互通时,第一网络或第二网络中的功能网元会接收到网络互通配置网元,或者自身所属网络的网络互通服务网元发送的与其对应连接的网元的标识,然后根据该网元标识即可完成第一网络与第二网络之间的互通。在该网络互通过程中,避免了两个网络互通时采用人工登记信息以触发网络互通流程的过程,提高了网络互通的效率。
可选的,若功能网元属于第一网络,与接收到的网元标识指示的网元完成网络互通实现为:向接收到的网元标识指示的网元发送连接请求。若功能网元属于第二网络,与接收到的网元标识指示的网元完成网络互通实现为:接收网元标识指示的网元发送连接请求,响应完成网络互通。

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
另外,本文中术语“和/或”,仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B这三种情况。另外,本文中字符“/”,一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
在描述本发明实施例之前,先对网络互通的场景架构进行简单说明。
示例性的,如图1所示,示意了一种第一网络与第二网络网络互通的场景部署架构。在图1中,虚线内为部署的第一网络,该第一网络包括第一网络鉴权授权计费服务器、第一网络基站及第一网络网关。图1中实线内为部署的第二网络,包括第二网络的鉴权授权计费服务器、第二网络的安全节点及第二网络的网关。图1中的两条粗线是第一网络与第二网络的连接。本发明所称的网络互通,是指建立或删除图1中的两条粗线。
其中,图1中的两条粗线所示的连接两端的网元,只是示例,并不是对第一网络与第二网络的连接的网元的限定。第一网络与第二网络连接的网元,根据实际需求或者通信标准定义,本发明实施例对此不进行具体限定。
其中,第一网络可以为基于非授权频谱,并且提供个性化及差异化业务的专用网络,第二网络可以为运营商部署的基于授权频谱的公用网络。本发明实施例对于第一网络、第二网络的类型不进行具体限定。
可选的,第一网络可以为NHN网络,第二网络可以为LTE网
络。
需要说明的是,第一网络并不限于NHN网络,第二网络并不限于LTE网络,也可以为其他制式的通信网络。
例如,本发明实施例所称的第二网络可以为全球移动通信***(英文全称:Global System for Mobile Communication,GSM)网络,或者宽带码分多址(英文全称:Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)网络,或者其他通信网络。第一网络可以为家庭基站网络或者无线保真(英文全称:WIreless-Fidelity,WIFI)网络。
还需要说明的是,第一网络中的网元,可以为第二网络的运营商部署,也可以为非运营商部署,本发明实施例对此不进行具体限定。
在图1架构中的第二网络中,鉴权授权计费服务器主要负责对用户进行鉴权,业务授权。可选的,鉴权授权计费服务器可以是移动管理实体(英文全称:Mobility Management Entity,MME),也可以是验证、授权和记账(英文全称:Authentication Authorization Accounting,AAA)服务器等移动网络控制面网元。安全节点用于与用户设备(英文全称:User Equipment,UE)建立安全的连接,保证用户数据对本地网络透明,安全节点可以是运营商的核心网设备也可以是运营商的接入网设备。网关是用户数据传输的锚点。
在图1架构中的第一网络中,第一网络的鉴权授权计费服务器主要负责对本地网络内部进行接入管理、会话管理、移动性管理等工作。第一网络的网关用于传输用户数据。第一网络的基站是接入设备。
需要说明的是,一个第一网络可以同时连接多个第二网络。图1只是示例说明,其中仅示意了一个第二网络,并不是对第一网络连接的第二网络的数量的限定。当第一网络与多个第二网络连接时,第一网络与每个第二网络之间的交互过程相同,本发明实施例仅以第一网络与一个第二网络之间的交互过程进行说明,并不是对网络架构的具体限定。
进一步的,在图1示意的基础上,第二网络中还包括网管网元,用于实现第一网络与第二网络的互通。
如背景技术所述,通过第二网络中的网管进行网络互通,对于第一网络中的网元由非第二网络的运营商部署的场景,第一网络的使用者需要前往运营商进行登记,提供第一网络的相关参数后,由第二网络的管理员触发第二网络的网管服务器执行网络互通的流程,导致网络互通效率低。
基于此,本发明的基本原理是:部署网络互通配置网元,网络互通配置网元分别向第一网络、第二网络中相互对应连接的网元,发送对方网络中与其对应连接的网元的标识,然后进行网络互通。
其中,网络互通配置网元可以独立部署,也可以部署在第二网络中,本发明实施例对此不进行具体限定。
本发明实施例提供的网络互通方法可以应用于如图2所示的网络架构中。图2所示的网络架构,是在与图1所示的网络架构的基础上,在第二网络中部署网络互通配置网元,用功能网元标识图1中的鉴权授权计费服务器、基站、网关及安全节点,其他均相同,再不赘述。
进一步的,本发明实施例提供的网络互通方法可以应用于如图3所示的网络架构中。图3是在图2的基础上,还可以在第一网络及第二网络中部署网络互通服务网元,用于配合网络互通配置网元发送网元的标识。
需要说明的是,网络架构是图2所示还是图3所示,均可以根据实际需求配置,本发明实施例对此不进行具体限定。
需要说明的是,一个第一网络可以接入至少一个第二网络,图2、图3中仅示意了一个第一网络与一个第二网络的部署连接,并不是对一个第一网络可以接入的第二网络数量的限定。当一个第一网络可以接入多个第二网络,第一网络与每个第二网络之间的互通过程是相同的,本发明实施例仅以一个第一网络与一个第二网络的部署连接过程进行描述,其他不再赘述。
可选的,图2、图3中部署的网络互通配置网元或者网络互通服务网元,可以单独部署为一个独立的功能网元,也可以分为多个功能模块部署在多个网元上,多个功能模块之间协同工作,以实现其功能。凡是通过本发明实施例所描述的网络互通配置网元、网络互通服务网元的功能,实现第一网络与第二网络间的互通,均属于本发明的保护范围,本发明实施例对网络互通配置网元、网络互通服务网元的部署方式不进行具体限定。
本发明实施例提供的网络互通方法可以由图2所示的网络架构中的网络互通配置网元及功能网元执行,或者,也可以由图3所示的网络架构中的网络互通配置网元、网络互通服务网元及功能网元执行。

收发器403可以为网络互通配置网元40的通信端口或者通信接口或者其他,用于与其他网元传递信息或消息。
进一步的,图5示出的是与本发明各实施例相关的一种网络互通服务网元50的结构示意图,该网络互通服务网元50可以为图3中在第一网络或者第二网络部署的网络互通服务网元,可以单独部署也可以依赖其他网元部署。

处理器501是网络互通服务网元50的控制中心,可以是一个CPU,也可以是ASIC,或者是被配置成实施本发明实施例的一个或多个集成电路,例如:一个或多个DSP,或,一个或者多个FPGA。处理器501可以通过运行或执行存储在存储器502内的软件程序和/或模块,以及调用存储在存储器502内的数据,执行网络互通服务网元50的各种功能。
收发器503可以为网络互通服务网元50的通信端口或者通信接口或者其他,用于与其他网元传递信息或消息。
进一步的,图6示出的是与本发明各实施例相关的一种功能网
元60的结构示意图,该功能网元60可以为图2或图3中在第一网络或者第二网络部署的网络互通服务网元,可以单独部署也可以依赖其他网元部署。该功能网元60可以为图1中包括的任一个鉴权授权计费服务器或基站或网关或安全节点。
如图6所示,该功能网元60可以包括:处理器601、存储器602、收发器603。
下面结合图6对功能网元60的各个构成部件进行具体的介绍:
存储器602,可以是volatile memory,例如RAM;或者non-volatile memory,例如ROM,flash memory,HDD或SSD;或者上述种类的存储器的组合,用于存储可实现本发明方法的相关应用程序、以及配置文件。
处理器601是功能网元60的控制中心,可以是一个CPU,也可以是ASIC,或者是被配置成实施本发明实施例的一个或多个集成电路,例如:一个或多个DSP,或,一个或者多个FPGA。处理器601可以通过运行或执行存储在存储器602内的软件程序和/或模块,以及调用存储在存储器602内的数据,执行功能网元60的各种功能。

下面结合附图,对本发明的实施例进行具体阐述。

第一方案、
网络互通配置网元接收第一网络的管理员发送的网络互通请
求。
其中,网络互通请求包括第一网络的标识和第二网络标识。

可选的,第一网络的管理员可以通过命令行、网页、或者应用程序(英文全称:Application,APP)等方式输入第一网元集合中每个网元的标识。当然,本发明实施例对于第一网络的管理员发送网络互通请求的方式不进行具体限定。
第二方案、

需要说明的是,第二方案中的网络互通请求与第一方案中的网络互通请求内容相同,只是发送方不同。

在执行S702之后,使得第一网元集合中的网元获取到了第二网络中与其对应连接的网元的标识,第一网元集合中的网元根据接收到的网元标识,即可与第二网元集合中与其对应连接的网元进行网络互通。
具体的,第二网元集合包括第二网络中与第一网元集合中每个网元一一对应连接的网元。
可选的,第二网元集合中包括的网元,可以根据通信协议标准预先定义。或者,第二网元集合中包括的网元,可以根据网络互通

需要说明的是,对于第二网元集合中包括的网元的具体确定方法,可以根据实际需求实现,本发明实施例对于此不进行具体限定。
需要说明的是,第二网元集合中的每个网元与第一网络集合中的网元的对应连接关系,可以在发送第二网元集合中每个网元的标识时携带发送,也可以为默认的网络互通配置网元与网络互通服务网元共知的预设对应关系,本发明实施例对此不进行限定。
可选的,当第一网络中与第二网络连接的网元包括第一网络的鉴权授权计费服务器、第一网络的基站、第一网络的网关中至少一项时,第二网络中与第一网络的鉴权授权计费服务器对应连接的网元包括第二网络的鉴权授权计费服务器。第二网络中与第一网络的网关对应连接的网元包括第二网络的安全节点。第二网络中与第一网络的基站对应连接的网元包括第二网络的鉴权授权计费服务器或者第二网络的安全节点。

其中,本发明任一实施例中所提到的网元的标识,是用来可以唯一识别网元的信息。对于网元的标识的类型和具体内容,可以根据实际需求确定,本发明实施例对此不进行具体限定。
示例性的,网元的标识可以为网元的互联网协议地址(英文全称:Internet Protocol Address,IP)地址,或者,网元的媒体访问控制(英文全称:Media Access Control,MAC)地址,或者,完全合格域名(英文全称:Fully Qualified Domain Name,FQDN)。网络的标识也可以为域名。
可选的,S702可以通过下述两种方案中任一种实现:

具体的,若S702通过上述方案B实现,所述方法还包括S7021至S7023。那么,S702则替换为图8中的S7021至S7023实现。

对应于上述示例3,在执行S7023时,第一网络中的网络互通服务网元向第一网络中的基站发送第二网络中的鉴权授权计费服务器的标识,向第一网络中的网关发送第二网络中的安全节点的标识。
对应于上述示例4,在执行S7023时,第一网络中的网络互通服务网元向第一网络中的基站发送第二网络中的鉴权授权计费服务器及安全节点的标识。
可选的,S7023中,第一网络中的第一网络互通服务网元分别向第一网元集合中每个网元,发送第二网元集合中与其对应连接的网元的标识可以通过下述两种方案中任一种实现:

其中,第一网元可以为第一网元集合中任一个网元,也可以为第一网元集合中处于第一网络中离网络互通服务网元最近的网元。

中的鉴权授权计费服务器向第一网络中的网关发送第二网络中的安全节点的标识。
需要说明的是,实现S7023的方案,不仅仅局限于上述两种方案,凡是能实现第一网络互通服务网元分别向第一网元集合中每个网元,发送第二网元集合中与其连接的第二网络中的网元的标识的功能,均属于本发明的保护范围。
S703、功能网元接收网元标识。
具体的,可以由图6所示的功能网元60中的处理器601通过收发器603执行S703。
其中,功能网元为第一网络或第二网络中的功能网元,接收的网元标识为该功能网元所属的网络请求连接的网络中与功能网元对应连接的网元的标识。
可选的,功能网元包括下述网元中的任一个:第一网络的鉴权授权计费服务器、第一网络的网关、第一网络的基站、第二网络的鉴权授权计费服务器、第二网络的安全节点。
S704、功能网元与网接收的网元标识指示的网元完成网络互通。
具体的,可以由图6所示的功能网元60中的处理器601通过收发器603执行S704。
可选的,若功能网元属于第一网络,与接收到的网元标识指示的网元完成网络互通实现为:向接收到的网元标识指示的网元发送连接请求。若功能网元属于第二网络,与接收到的网元标识指示的网元完成网络互通实现为:接收网元标识指示的网元发送连接请求,响应完成网络互通。
具体的,对于执行S704的具体操作,与当前技术相同,简要描述为:
第一网元集合中每个网元根据获取到的标识,发起连接建立请求进行连接建立。第二网元集合中的每个网元在接收到建立请求时,通过获取到的与其对应连接的网元,进行验证,接收请求并响应或者拒绝请求。进而完成了两个网络的互通。
这样一来,网络互通配置网元在获知到第一网络请求连接第二网络时,向第一网络中第二网络连接的网元反馈第二网络中与其对应连接进行网络互通的网元的标识,第一网络中的网元根据接收到的标识即可完成第一网络与第二网络之间的互通。在该网络互通过程中,由网络互通配置网元在获知请求网络互通时,自动下发进行网络互通的网元标识,避免了两个网络互通时采用人工登记信息以触发网络互通流程的过程,提高了网络互通的效率。

具体的,若网络互通配置网元分别向第二网元集合中每个网元,发送第一网元集合中与其对应连接的网元的标识通过上述方案b实现,所述方法还包括S7051至S7053。那么,S705则替换为图8中的S7051至S7053实现。
